*SEVERE geomagnetic storm possible with U.S. aurora borealis display* *Northern lights possible at mid-latitudes early Sunday morning or Sunday night* *Specifics TBD – map coming later today* On Friday evening Eastern time, a major solar flare occurred from sunspot #4100. A sunspot is a bruise-like discoloration on the sun that throbs and pulsates with energy. Following the solar flare, which is a flash of light and radiation, a significant CME — or coronal mass ejection — was hurled directly toward Earth. Imagine a shockwave of magnetism and high-energy particles rippling through space like an interstellar tsunami. It’s heading for us at speeds around 1,200 miles per second — that’s very fast! We know it’s Earth-directed because our sensors indicate a “full halo” CME. See the solar material appearing to fan out in all directions? That’s an indicator it’s Earth-bound. It’s like if a train is coming right at you — you’d only see the train getting bigger. Once this electromagnetic shockwave reaches Earth, the energy will be absorbed and dissipated by our magnetic field. It will be transformed into visible light — the aurora. Since there’s a LOT of energy, we’ll probably get the aurora borealis (the northern lights) down to the mid latitudes. This could mean parts of the central United States, the Midwest, the Mid-Atlantic and perhaps as far south as northern California. There’s even a chance that parts of the Mid-South could see the aurora IF a direct impact occurs and the orientation of Earth’s magnetic field cooperates. Scientists at the Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado are working to iron that out.

A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) that left the Sun late on the 22nd November is expected to arrive this evening and overnight #Aurora may become visible across parts of northern Scotland and similar latitudes, dependent on the exact timing of the arrival of the enhancements

On November 27 and 28, a series of powerful solar flares swept across the Sun’s surface, creating this coronal hole. This phenomenon is a temporary region of relatively cool, less dense plasma in the solar corona where the Sun's magnetic field extends into interplanetary space as an open field. The open magnetic field of a coronal hole allows solar wind to escape into space at a much quicker rate, leading to increased chances of geomagnetic storms upon colliding with Earth’s magnetosphere.

Aurora borealis was seen around the world last night — all because of an extremely powerful solar flare On Sunday, the first major solar flare of the year occurred — an X1.95-class event. A cloud of charged particles reached Earth in less than 24 hours. On the night of January 19–20, the aurora was observed in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Western Europe, and North America. An extremely strong geomagnetic storm hit the planet. Geomagnetic activity nearly reached the maximum G5 level. Disruptions have been reported worldwide. Radio signals, satellite navigation, and other systems dependent on a stable magnetic field have been affected.

The Earth's magnetic field protects us not only from solar flares but also from cosmic radiation. When the Sun enters a Grand Solar Minimum, its magnetic field weakens for a long period. This lets more cosmic radiation into the Solar System, and this directly impacts the climate on Earth and increases volcanic activity. The last Little Ice Age occurred during a Grand Solar Minimum. But the coming Grand Solar Minimum is going to hit harder because the Earth's magnetic field is at least 30% weaker and, with the ongoing geomagnetic excursion, is continuing to weaken. This will let in more cosmic radiation, which will directly cause mutations, pandemics, cooling, crop failures, and even crustal displacement. Since the advent of modern technology, we haven't experienced either a Grand Solar Minimum or a geomagnetic excursion, and we are due for both.

🚨 THE SUN JUST PUNCHED EARTH IN THE MAGNETIC FACE - AND WE LOVED IT On November 11, the Sun fired off an X5.1 solar flare - the biggest of 2025 - and hurled a plasma freight train at Earth at 600+ km/s. Twenty-four hours later, it slammed into our magnetosphere like a cosmic battering ram. NASA’s model shows it perfectly: Earth, a tiny blue marble at the center… Red zones whipping past like solar shrapnel… Magnetic field lines bending, twisting, screaming under the impact. This is what a geomagnetic storm looks like when the universe decides to remind you who’s in charge. The fallout? Satellites jitter. GPS drifts. HF comms get scrambled. And the sky throws a rave - auroras blooming far south of where they have any business being. With the Sun climbing toward peak activity, this won’t be the last hit. Expect more storms, more skyfire, and at least one “Why is the aurora over Chicago?” moment before 2026 is done. Source: Black Hole

A negative polarity trans-equatorial coronal hole is visible on the Sun and will connect to Earth with its magnetic field and high-speed solar wind in ~5-6 days. The last geoeffective coronal hole high-speed-stream impact we had perfectly lined up with the Venezuela earthquake doublet (M7.2 & M7.2) and the M7.2 earthquake that hit Japan on June 24th... With the last 2 weeks being dominated by intense solar flare activity, Earth's ionosphere and global electric circuit is already very highly charged, which suggests that this CH HSS impact could act as a stronger trigger than normal upon critically stressed faults. That said, the coronal hole isn't very wide, so Earth won't be embedded in its solar wind for long. Initial forecast range for a significant bump in global seismic activity from this would be July 9-14th.

A giant canyon on the Sun On July 15, a powerful flare occurred on the surface of the Sun, which briefly changed its structure and caused the release of hot plasma into space. As a result of this event, a plasma "scar" about 400,000 kilometers long appeared. This is approximately the distance from the Earth to the Moon. The height of the structure reaches 20,000 kilometers. All this was recorded with high accuracy by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).

An X-flare, Hurricane, and Earthquake walk into a bar.... Tropical Storm Erick intensified into a hurricane shortly after the recent powerful 1.2 X-flare from the Sun radiated the sunlit side of the Earth (which Mexico was on at the time). Then as Hurricane Erick began making landfall it triggered a magnitude 5.8 earthquake right nearby. A perfect example of the energetic connection between the Sun, our weather, and geophysical events like earthquakes.

.NASA, NOAA , and the Solar Cycle Prediction Panel have officially declared that the solar maximum has begun. This marks the peak of the Sun's 11-year activity cycle, characterized by frequent sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. The solar maximum brings increased solar activity, which can cause geomagnetic storms affecting Earth’s power grids, communications, and satellites but also leads to beautiful auroras. Scientists cannot predict the exact timing or strength of solar cycles with precision. The Sun's magnetic poles will eventually switch places, and the activity will decrease, but the exact peak of this cycle may not be known for months or years. Although this cycle is stronger than initial predictions, it remains within normal limits. The most powerful flare of this cycle occurred on October 4, 2024, but wasn't the strongest ever recorded. 👉

Experience a once-in-a-lifetime perspective of a solar eclipse, seen from the window of an airplane.. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves directly between Earth and the Sun, aligning so precisely that it blocks the Sun’s light. Although the Sun is roughly 400 times larger than the Moon, it is also about 400 times farther away, making them appear nearly the same size in the sky. During totality, the Moon completely obscures the Sun, unveiling its outer atmosphere—the corona—and turning daylight into an eerie twilight. Because this exact alignment is rare for any given location, total solar eclipses are truly unforgettable events.

The final evolutionary step is acquiring a body made of plasma, or an energy body that can manipulate electromagnetic waves. Jesus’ Transfiguration, or the glorified body, is exactly that—the highest form of plasma, because he is God himself, who came to Earth to show the right path. That is why during the Transfiguration, ‘His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.’ The Sun is plasma and it shines white. This concept was also present in ancient Egyptian religion, where the soul becomes the immortal Akh and transforms into a star. This is the concept of internal alchemy, and it is the ultimate purpose of our existence! Notice the Orthodox depictions of the Transfiguration, there is light surrounding the body. There are plasma beings that exist in higher dimensions, and we call them ‘aliens.’ They can appear however they want to you because they can manipulate how you perceive them, since you see electromagnetic waves, and a plasma body could influence that.

Space objects such as meteoroids and asteroids move across the solar system and can collide with both Earth and the Moon. However, the Moon shows far more visible impact marks on its surface. One main reason is that Earth has a thick atmosphere that protects the planet. When many meteoroids enter Earth’s atmosphere, they burn up due to friction before they can reach the ground. This process creates the bright streaks of light we call shooting stars. The Moon, however, has almost no atmosphere, so incoming space rocks are not slowed down or burned up. They travel directly to the lunar surface and strike it at very high speed. Each collision creates an impact crater, throwing dust and rocks outward from the impact point. Over billions of years, thousands of these impacts have covered the Moon with craters. Unlike Earth, the Moon also has no wind, water, or weather to erase these craters, so they remain visible for millions or even billions of years. This is why the Moon looks heavily cratered when we observe it from Earth through telescopes.

Something wild is happening on the Sun’s hidden side right now.For days, the far side has been vomiting one colossal coronal mass ejection after another, an almost unbroken firehose of billion-ton plasma clouds blasting into space at millions of kilometers per hour. The dark limb of the Sun looks like it’s breathing fire in slow motion.Suspect number one? Our old beast, Active Region 4274, the same monster that hammered Earth with multiple X-class flares earlier this month. What’s left of that hyperactive sunspot factory is about to rotate back into view around December 1st, and if even a fraction of its former fury is still alive, we’re in for a showtime.This relentless barrage was caught in mesmerizing detail by the brand-new GOES-19 satellite’s CCOR-1 coronagraph. Watch the video and try not to feel small.The Sun isn’t sleeping. It’s just warming up on the backstage before walking back into the spotlight.

We've now had two 2.5 x-flares from sunspot 4419 over the last 12 hours, both launching gigantic coronal mass ejections outwards pretty much in the direction of Comet C/2025 R3 PANSTARRS. Surprisingly we're not in a radiation storm yet, and plasma headed to Earth from these events seems to be minimal, but sunspot 4420 is nearly Earth-direct now and 4423 following just behind just blasted off a 1.7 m-flare. As Comet R3 PANSTARRS continues to fly across Earth-facing while cutting through the ecliptic plane just outside the orbit of Mercury, my forecast is that we're most likely to enhanced activity from 4420 and 4423 as well over the next 2-3 days. Keep in mind the comet will begin experiencing #spaceweather from the CMEs very soon, and that will energize it electromagnetically even further, perhaps pronouncing this Comet-Sun effect we're seeing even further...

🚨 PARKER SOLAR PROBE JUST FOUND HIGH-ENERGY PARTICLES NEAR THE SUN THAT NO MODEL PREDICTED AND WE DON’T KNOW HOW THEY GOT SO ENERGETIC. During its close passes through the solar corona, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe detected protons accelerated to energies around 400 keV roughly 1,000 times higher than current models of magnetic reconnection at the heliospheric current sheet could explain. The particles appear to be trapped and energized inside magnetic islands that form and merge during reconnection events at the current sheet (the vast surface where the Sun’s magnetic field flips polarity). This mechanism was not expected to produce such high energies so close to the Sun. Why this matters: • It reveals a previously unknown or underestimated source of energetic particles right in the solar corona • Existing models of solar energetic particles have focused mainly on shocks from coronal mass ejections — this suggests reconnection can also be a powerful accelerator • The same process may be contributing more to coronal heating than previously calculated • It has implications for space weather forecasting, since these particles can affect spacecraft and astronauts The deeper implication: Parker is showing us that the physics of the near-Sun environment is more energetic and complex than our models assumed. Magnetic reconnection long known as an important process appears capable of accelerating particles to surprisingly high energies through the merging of magnetic islands. This doesn’t just tweak our understanding of the Sun; it may force revisions in how we model particle acceleration across many astrophysical environments. We’re still in the early stages of understanding what Parker is revealing, but it’s already clear that the corona is more violent and dynamic than we thought. How do you think this discovery might change our models of space weather or solar physics in the coming years? Follow for more updates from Parker Solar Probe and the evolving picture of our Sun.

🚨 CHINA IS RACING TO BUILD A SPACE SOLAR POWER PLANT THAT COULD BEAM ELECTRICITY FROM ORBIT TO EARTH. Scientists at Xidian University have successfully tested a ground-based system that can wirelessly transmit kilowatt-level power over 100 meters using microwaves. Their ultimate goal is far more ambitious: placing large solar power stations in geostationary orbit (36,000 km up), where sunlight is available 24/7 with no weather or atmosphere blocking it. The project, called Zhuri (“chasing the sun”), uses mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto solar panels, converts the electricity into microwaves, and beams it down to a receiving antenna (rectenna) on Earth. Why this matters: • In space, solar energy is up to 6 times more efficient than on Earth because there’s no night, clouds, or atmospheric filtering • A single large space solar station could theoretically generate gigawatts of continuous clean power enough for millions of homes • The team has already proven the system can beam power to multiple moving targets at once • China is now among the world leaders in this technology, alongside the US and Japan The deeper implication: Space-based solar power has been a dream for decades because it could provide truly baseload renewable energy. While the technical and financial challenges are enormous (building massive structures in orbit, precise microwave beaming, and safety), steady progress like this brings the concept closer to reality.

🚨 CHINA IS RACING TO BUILD A SPACE SOLAR POWER PLANT THAT COULD BEAM ELECTRICITY FROM ORBIT TO EARTH. Scientists at Xidian University have successfully tested a ground-based system that can wirelessly transmit kilowatt-level power over 100 meters using microwaves. Their ultimate goal is far more ambitious: placing large solar power stations in geostationary orbit (36,000 km up), where sunlight is available 24/7 with no weather or atmosphere blocking it. The project, called Zhuri (“chasing the sun”), uses mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto solar panels, converts the electricity into microwaves, and beams it down to a receiving antenna (rectenna) on Earth. Why this matters: • In space, solar energy is up to 6 times more efficient than on Earth because there’s no night, clouds, or atmospheric filtering • A single large space solar station could theoretically generate gigawatts of continuous clean power enough for millions of homes • The team has already proven the system can beam power to multiple moving targets at once • China is now among the world leaders in this technology, alongside the US and Japan The deeper implication: Space-based solar power has been a dream for decades because it could provide truly baseload renewable energy. While the technical and financial challenges are enormous (building massive structures in orbit, precise microwave beaming, and safety), steady progress like this brings the concept closer to reality. If successful, it could fundamentally change how humanity generates and distributes energy moving power collection off the planet entirely. Near-term applications could include wirelessly charging satellites or powering future lunar bases.
